Any other examples of (good) authors who wrote in a language that wasn't their native tongue? How old was Beckett when he started learning French anyways?

Nabokov. Never read Beckett in French but he is probably my favorite writer in English.

Eugene Ionesco, Emil Cioran, Tristan Tzara, Gherasim Luca and a few other minor authors are all examples of Romanians who emigrated to France fleeing the nazis at first and then the communists, then only published in French. Mircea Eliade did the same, except in English.
